Wow! That's some build AshleyMP777! What's the spc on it?

I'm looking to buy an ASR5c myself but I don't think I could quite reach to that build. That's about £5.5k at a rough guess.

Hi nice bike!

Can you please tell me how you actually weighed the bike? and does the weight include pedals?

Sorry it is a bit of an awkward question. I am looking to purchase a FS bike and yours is a very nice build and only 1100 - 1200 grams heavier than my Scale Ltd. I just wanted to make sure I was comparing like with like. Thanks!

Yeti Baz

Drool!! Absolutely stunning

I didn't I'm afraid. The shop who built it did. And it had XTR pedals on when they weighed it.

Cheers Ashley, much appreciated. Better get saving! :P

Love the look of this.

Can i ask you a few questions?

How stiff is the frame?
Whats the mud clearance like?
Where did you buy it from?
What made you go for the ASR5 over other brands?

The frame is incredibly stiff. I've ridden hardtails for 20 years from the Pace RC100, Orange, to Spesh S-Works carbons and Cotics and I have to say it's as every bit as stiff as they were, especially on the climbs. Sometimes I have to remind myself it's a full-sus.

Mud clearance is pretty good. I took delivery of it in November and rode throughout Nov/Dec in some pretty awful conditions and I never had any complaints about the clearance.

I bought it from Bromley Bike Company for the following reasons:

a) I wanted a fast, trail and race worthy full suss and all the reviews I read about it suggested it did exactly that.


b) When I test rode one last Summer I immediately fell in love with it. For the hour I had it I just had the biggest smile. It coped with everything so well.

c) It's light, very light. It currently weighs 22.5lbs, which for a full suss is astonishing. But it did cost me a few quid.

d) It's not a Trek, Specialized or Giant. Don't get me wrong, they are brilliant manufactures and you'd be a fool to suggest they can’t build light, agile full sussers but I just wanted something a bit different. And ever since I was a kid I've always wanted a Yeti - harking back to the John Tomac and Missy Giove years. So the brand has a real place in MTB'ing history.

Hope that answered your questions! Drop me a PM if you need to know any More.

Take care

Finally getting rid of the DT Swiss cheese rims - gone for Stans Crest. Should have done that in the first place!

Glad I took the morning off to ride!

That would be my perfect bike, if it was a proper sized one.

I shall be replacing my current ASR with one of them.
